Even if the PDF is a scan, I can read the information I need.
The price is affordable and the service (mail sending) is very fast.
Thanks ! Regards. William (Fan of Kenwood)
Excellent just what I needed to replace the electrolytic caps and make this old gem a beauty again. Was as scan of the original photocopied service manual.
It was helpful to get schematic with waveforms in important points and lot of service information. Manual is good quality, fast delivered. Of course it is hardcopy of paper one with all its disadvantages.

Cleaning
Cleaning of Video Head
Clean the head with a head cleaning stick or chamois cloth. Procedure 1.Remove the top cabinet. 2.Put on a glove (thin type) to avoid touching the upper and lower drum with your bare hand. 3.Put a few drops of 90% Isopropyl alcohol on the head cleaning stick or on the chamois cloth and, by slightly pressing it against the head tip, turn the upper drum to the right and to the left. Notes: 1.The video head surface is made of very hard material, but since it is very thin, avoid cleaning it vertically. 2.Wait for the cleaned part to dry thoroughly before operating the unit. 3.Do not reuse a stained head cleaning stick or a stained chamois cloth.
